Teresa Allen School of Motoring

I am from India and moved to the UK for work. I have driven cars for over 20 years and needed coaching just for 3-4 hours on driving under UK conditions (rules, laws) When all other instructors turned me down citing busy schedules, Teresa agreed to give me some lessons over weekends just to help me out. It was so very kind of her. Teresa is a very friendly and casual instructor and you feel like you are learning from a friend.. She was very understanding and also taught me patiently on how driving works in the UK (which is totally different from how it is in India) When you train under Teresa, she takes complete ownership and commitment for your success. So it is not just a business transaction with Teresa. She is genuinely interested that you drive well and pass your driving test. Now the cream of the cake. I didn't get any slots for practical test anywhere close to my area and got it only in Hernebay, some 50 miles away. Teresa rang up her contacts and arranged for some classes from an instructor in Hernebay, to get me familiar with the local driving conditions there. Now honestly, who would go that far to help you out, unless they genuinely care about you.. Needless to say, I passed first time with only 1 minor and owe this completely to Teresa. She is not just a driving instructor for me.. she is family.. and that's why I call her aunty and not "Teresa" anymore. Summary: A brilliant instructor, who genuinely cares about you and your success in the driving test. Look no further and train with Teresa. Cheers Barani

100% best driving instructor around. Teresa always makes sure she has time for you and does everything she can to help you pass as soon as possible. Very lucky to have been able to book her xxx

I thoroughly enjoyed learning to drive with Teresa. Originally, I was often anxious and angry at myself when driving, but Teresa endeavoured to help me overcome this and led to me enjoying driving and feeling confident. Teresa always continued the lessons at my own pace and made sure I was comfortable with what I was doing. By being honest and very friendly, Teresa made sure I knew exactly where to improve and how to safely do it. This led me to pass my driving test first time round! Thank you Teresa!

Teresa is an outstanding driving instructor. I have had an incredibly long journey learning to drive which had been interrupted by various relocations and then Covid 19. I have had many different instructors along the way and Teresa has been by the far the best. When I arranged to book lessons ahead of my test she was thorough, considerate, organised and incredibly professional. She takes the time to understand your previous experience and adapt to your learning style which I really appreciated. On a personal level, it is easy to see how much Teresa cares about your success and is genuinely a very kind individual who will go above and beyond. Driving can be quite a difficult journey for some and having an instructor who can put you at ease is an incredibly important factor. Teresa always made me feel comfortable and slowly built up my confidence in the lead up to my test. With her help and support I passed on my third attempt (having been unsuccessful twice before I met Teresa) and feel so grateful to have had her as my final instructor!

I passed my driving test at first attempt yesterday after having had only 5 lessons over 3 weeks with Teresa. Although I started my lessons with another instructor back in February, my confidence had taken a hit around May and I didn't feel I wasn't making much progress, so my only option seemed to be to keep changing my test date. I'm endlessly grateful to Teresa to take a leap of faith with me and help me build up my confidence from the first lesson we had together. Her methods were reassuring and there was a noticeable improvement from one lesson to another. She has been the perfect ally to become a confident and safe driver and enjoy the time I spend behind the wheel I honestly couldn't recommend her more (and proof of that is that even after having passed my test, I'll be booking some motorway lessons with her soon!)
